Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays I have found some Vette FRC's at GM Parts Direct for $22 each. I assume they are paintable b/c many others I have seen are a variety of colors. Then I was thinking of getting some MBA covers with Trans Am or something else on there.

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays FastWhite TA, did you need to customize any wiring or vacumm lines from the intake to be able to put the fuel rail covers on?

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays I honestly didn't install them myself, but I found a document online detailing the installation. Looks like a few modifications are needed.

Just go to "LT1 rail covers" section. Hopefully that helps.

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays I did the whole LT4 dressup deal (powdercoated the intake through Nasty Performance). Car has a trick flow elbow and GMPP intake.
Heads, cam, Hooker LT's, AC delete and the usual boltons, but not nearly as badass of a motor as Anthony's car...

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays Thanks for all the posts. I have a good idea of what I am going to do. Powdercoat: Alternator, brackets, vortech elbow, waterpump. Get some FRC's and paint those gloss black and cover the vette lettering with some custom stainless pieces with trans am engraved on them. Throttle body plate, then see how everyting ties together.

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays fast, where'd you get that "supercharged" throttle body plate? Mine is just a BBK plate right now, and I'd rather not plug a predominantly-Mustang company on my motor... thanks for the info.

Re: Need Pics of Dressed Up LT1 Engine Bays contact Mallory Billet (MBA) they do customs, that one is going away (that's an ASM unit so the bolt pattern is different)
